]]>Our residents have loved playing balloon games in our lounge this week at Lulworth House Residential Care Home – batting a balloon to each other without it touching the floor. A good giggle and a great work out for the arms!

We’ve been making full use of our garden with the beautiful weather and our ladies and gents have enjoyed drinks and lunches outside, which is super to see.

We’ve also printed out some family tree pictures for our residents to fill in, which is such a nice activity as we get to chat about different family members and how they fit into the different generations.

Our residents have also been pleased to receive letters and cards from loved ones. These are always greeted with anticipation and it’s wonderful to see the joy they bring to our Home.

We celebrated Joyce’s birthday and presented her with a beautiful birthday cake with iced flowers and her name on it, which she was delighted with. She enjoyed her day in the garden with her friends, taking in the sun.

We’ve had another one of our popular ‘movie mornings‘ with popcorn! Our residents watched a war film together, followed by some classical music time.

We’ve been keeping our garden well watered and our ladies have also made some cupcakes together, which we all get to enjoy!

Lulworth House Residential Care Home is delighted to have won ‘The Most Glamorous Trolleys’ category in a recent ‘Tart Up Your Trolley’ competition.

At the end of last month, Recreation and Well-Being Manager Viv Stead launched a competition for staff across Nellsar’s 13 Care Homes to ‘tart up their trolleys’.

During this period of lockdown, Viv thought staff could have a bit of fun and see who could use their creativity to ‘Tart up their trolley’! If teams didn’t have an activities trolley, they could improvise with whatever they had; there were no rules to the competition, the aim was simply to spread a little cheer to residents and make them smile.

Entries were submitted to Viv and she was amazed with what came in from our Homes;“What can I say?! Once again you and your teams have absolutely blown us all away with your creativity, passion, enthusiasm and courage! I thought it would create a bit of fun in these difficult times and you have really done it with style!”

Having looked through all the entries, Viv decided that to choose a ‘top three’ out of all of the marvellous entries was just too difficult to bear, so a decision was made to award everybody a prize, and Lulworth’s trolleys were judged the most glamorous.

The Home entered two trolleys. Their first was a specially decorated American sweets trolley, used at a Hollywood party they held at their Home. It featured a cut out of the Statue of Liberty and signs pointing to different famous locations such a Hollywood and Central Park (and the toliets!). It was packed full of American sweets, crisps, pretzels and popcorn for residents to enjoy. Their second trolley was inspired by one of their residents; “‘Why the 1920s?’ you may ask; it is one of our ladies 100th birthdays this week so we thought we would focus on the year she was born!”. The trolley is a real tribute to the roaring 20s!

The Home will receive £50 for their Residents Fund, some bubbles and a winner’s certificate.

A huge ‘well done’ to all the staff and residents who took part in the competition – it certainly has lifted everyone’s spirits!

On Friday morning, our ladies relaxed with puzzles and word searches and also a wonderful Namaste session with massage, which was the perfect was to enjoy the end of the week.

Party time!

On Saturday 16 May we celebrated Betty turning 100 and had a wonderful time enjoying the tennis-themed party we’d prepared. Betty used to like playing tennis and really enjoys watching it too, so we were excited to bring Wimbledon to Lulworth for her!

They’ve been painting tennis ball, racket and tennis player pictures and we’ve put up tennis racket balloons in readiness for this special event at the weekend.

Our ladies have also been bakingtogether and this week made a fantastic camper van cake for resident John’s birthday on Wednesday 13 May. Amazing work ladies!

John loved receiving his cake and we all had fun celebrating with a little party, enjoying slices of his camper van with some cheeky glasses of wine!

A highlight of the celebrations was our ‘street party’ at the end of the week when our ladies and gents enjoyed homemade cakes washed down with ginger beer! Hooray!

]]>We enjoyed a range of activities last week with our residents at Lulworth House Residential Care Home, with a highlight being our Hollywood party on Friday.

Hairdressing

Our ladies and gents were treated to some pampering from our team members Emily and Heather in the week, who put on a lovely hairdressing day experience for our residents who were keen to look their best for the upcoming Hollywood festivities.

Gardening

We’ve been hard at work outside in our garden whilst the weather has been so nice; weeding, watering and potting new plants to enjoy in the coming months.

Arts and crafts

We have been making decorations for our Hollywood party and a new poster to show our support to anyone who may be feeling lonely, featuring the words ‘You are not alone, even when you feel lonely’. We have also made some pretty paper collage daffodils, which look lovely on display.

St Georges Day

On Thursday 23 April we celebrated St George Day with a quiz and a group chat which was a lovely way to bring everyone together and get our brains ticking!

New York Hollywood Style BBQ Party

On Friday 24 April we hosted our American-style party to bring us all together in a fun and uplifting way. We were well prepared with decorations, which we had been making all week with Chrissi and other members of the staff team.

We started the party with an American tea morning and group chat, followed by a lovely BBQ lunch in the garden with music, singing and dancing. After lunch we were delighted to try original American sweets and of course popcorn from our specially decorated sweets trolley!

We had such a good time together, chatting, laughing and taking photos, we all thoroughly enjoyed the happy atmosphere.

Having mixed all the ingredients and cooked those which needed baking, we displayed them beautifully on cake stands to enjoy outside at our garden tea party afternoon.

What a beautiful afternoon in the garden it was too – a wonderful time together socialising and savouring the fruits of our labour!

On Thursday morning we held a painting session where we made some decorations ready for our upcoming New York party, Hollywood style! We also tried our new hair styles, which was great fun. We are all looking forward to some Hollywood glam!
